DE WANE B. SMITH, OF DEER/FIELD, NElVYORK.

SPRAYER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 110,634,962, dated October17, 1899.

Application filed December 14, 1898- Serial No. 699,256. (No model.)

To all who/1'2, it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, DE VVANE B. SMITH, of Deerfield, in the county ofOneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Sprayers; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thefigures of reference marked thereon, which form part of thisspecification.

The object of my present invention is to provide a sprayer theliquid-receptacle of which can be readily and conveniently filled bydipping and which can be readily and thoroughly cleaned and in whichaccess may be readily had to all parts liable to require attention.

A further object is to provide a sprayer which is strong, compact, andsimple in construction and of a form convenient for use and beingadapted to produce a plurality of sprays.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a side elevation of my improved sprayer.Fig. 2 shows an end View of the same. Fig. 3 shows, on an enlargedscale, a cross-section taken on a horizontal plane. Fig. 4. shows, on anen'- larged scale, a'partial side elevation of the liquid-receptacleportion and a partial vertical section.

Referring to the reference-figures in a more particular description, 1indicates the cylindrical barrel of the sprayer, which is provided Iwith a plunger 2, operated by a handle 3 on the end of the piston orplunger rod 4. Secured to the end of the barrel 1 is theliquid-receptacle 5, having alarge open top adapted to be closed by thecover. Adjacent to the upper end of the wall of the tank or receptacle 5is formed an encompassing air-passage 6. This passage is preferablyformed by bending the wall of the receptacle inwardly, as shown at 5,and applying a bead-like strip 6 on the outside op posite the bead andsecuring it by solder or otherwise. At one side of the receptacle theencircling passage 6, which conforms to the wall of the receptacle, isprovided with an opening 7, affording a passage or communication withthe interior of the cylinder 1. Substantially at the opposite side ofthe receptacle are provided discharge-openings or blowholes 8 S, andfrom points approximate to said openings 8 8 suction-tubes 9 9, passingthrough the walls of the receptacle, extend down close to the bottom ofthe receptacle 5.

The device is capable of and is intended to be used as follows: Thecover is removed and the operator taking hold of the barrel 1, using itas a dipper-handle, dips the receptacle 5 into a pail or can and fillsit with liquid. The cover being replaced the spray is delivered at theopenings 8 by operating the plunger backward and forward in the barrel.by means of the handle 3. In operation the air passes from the cylinder1 around the en compassin g passage 6 to the openings 8, where it beingdischarged across the upper end of the tubes9 a suction is created whichdraws the-liquid from the tank 5 and atomizes it and directs it in aspray in the direction of the blast from the openings 8.

On removing the cover the contents of the receptacle 5 can be emptiedout or removed and the receptacle thoroughly cleaned and dried out andexamined and access can be had to the inner end of the tubes 9.

It is evident that instead of forming the air-passage 6 directly in thewalls of the re ceptacle 5 the passage might be formed by a separatetube passing around the inner or outer side of the wall and conformingthereto. It is also evident that the portion of the tube between theopenings 8 might be stopped and in effect form two portions of tubularpassages extending from the cylinder around to lure, in presence of twowitnesses, this 10th dcy of December, 1898.
